Your tonio is up and running and a new wireless network should be around: its name is tonio and default password toniocartonio. Connect to it.
Once associated, access your Tonio web interface at [http://tonio.local]. If this is the first time you access, you'll be presented with first setup page. Use that to fine tune the wiring according to your specific assembly.
Once the first setup is over, the web interface allows to check Tonio status, read the log and manage playlists.
SSH access is also enabled by default $ ssh root@tonio.local. Default password is tonio.
Congratulations, you're done! Time to setup playlists and bind them to RFID tags.
Open the web interface status section at http://tonio.local/#status.
Now move an unused RFID tag on the sensitive area and wait the status page to show you the unique tag id (a 8 digits hex string), say ${MY_TAG_ID}.
Until playlist management from web UI is complete, some more work is required.
Media files and playlist are meant to be copied on the vfat partition named TONIO that Tonio mounts at /mnt/media/.
When you place a tag, Tonio daemon looks for the folder /mnt/media/library/${MY_TAG_ID}.
If folder is there, the first file with extension .m3u, found in folder /usr/share/tonio/library/${MY_TAG_ID} will be played. That's your playlist entry point.
File format is the kinda-standard m3u, anything uderstood by vlc can be put there. Make sure both m3u and media files are uploaded and relative paths in m3u are correct.
HINT: web radios also work. Just make sure your tonio is connected to the Internet.
Currently, the web UI only allows you to see the content of playlists. Later, playlist management could be done without requiring the user to unplug the SD card.
The Buildroot configuration has a very limit set of decoders, only the most commonly used (vorbis, mp3) are enabled. If you need more decoding capabilities, make sure decoder packages are enabled before build.
